This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can tell what neighbors have their shit in a pile. The most dutiful and dedicated among them will make a point to clear the snow before anyone has a chance to drive or walk on it. I had neighbors that would snowblow, then sweep their sidewalk and driveway. Never used a grain of salt. They were dicks, but damn if their driveway wasn't immaculate.
